Chapter 9

The people do not fight with officials. Even if they have the capital to fight, they are afraid of the black hat on the other party's head.

So Chen Ze only brought eight yamen runners over, two guarding the front and back doors, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. The neighbors who watched the fun were honest and none of them squeezed into it. Six of them went in to get people. Uncle Zhang wanted to resist, but was directly pressed on the ground by two tall and burly yamen runners and blocked their mouths. Zhang Fu had injuries on his back, and was even more easily subdued. The rest of Aunt Zhang and Qiulan saw the yamen runners and shook like sieves, and were blocked. They were taken to the front yard like sheep, and the family of four knelt together.

"Girl, what's going on?" Chunliu said anxiously as she watched the two yamen runners capture Qiulan.

Ningzhu leaned tightly in her sister's arms and cried in fear. The little girl has become much more sensible these days. She knew that her sister was not feeling well, so she forced herself to cry without making a sound.

Hanzhu raised her head slightly, and the August sun was still dazzling, silently reminding her that this was not a nightmare and that she had to go on.

I noticed that the sister was shaking gently in my arms, Hanzhu's strength gradually came back.

"Sister is not afraid. Sister, go to the front to take a look. You go back to the house and wait. After a while, my sister will come to find you." Hanzhu wiped her sister's tears and coaxed the little girl to nod. Hanzhu asked her maid Chunliu to stay in the house to guard her sister. She called Madam Tian from the kitchen to go to the front with her.

In the wing room, Cheng Yu returned to Dingwang from the window, his eyes fell on his chest, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

King Ding smiled indifferently, "It's okay. I've been raising it for the past few days and it's almost done. It's okay to rush to go."

Cheng Yu didn't believe it at all. King Ding's wound had not healed completely, and he would bleed when riding a carriage, and riding a horse was even more deadly.

"I'll go out and have a look first." When things were about to come, it was useless to be anxious. After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he reached out to help King Ding.

King Ding was puzzled, "What are you helping me do?"

Cheng Yu calmly said, "Hide it first." Although he went back, he was still worried about leaving Dingwang here. If someone really broke in, Dingwang would hide it, which would not only delay it for a while, but also facilitate Dingwang to take action secretly.

King Ding was also cherishing his life. He cooperated with him to stand up, limped to the back door of the door of Gong's room, and leaned against the wall with a dagger in his hand.

After settling him down, Cheng Yu quickly walked out of the house.

The Jiang family has few owners and not many servants. Cheng Yu and the other servants lived in the backyard. Except for Uncle Zhang, Zhang Fu, the other servants were unaware of it. Although the people who served in the backyard knew about it, they were all timid female relatives. Frightened by Cheng Yu's ruthless attack on Zhang Fu that day, he would never dare to speak out. Cheng Yu knew this and only now showed up.

Two little maids stood in the kitchen. When they saw him coming out, they hid in like a rabbit.

When he went to the door of the room, Chunliu led Ningzhu to wait for news uneasyly. Seeing Cheng Yu suddenly appear, Chunliu instinctively wanted to pull Ningzhu into the room.

Ningzhu broke free from her hand and ran towards Cheng Yu crying.

"Young master is good at kung fu, please save my sister. The government wants to arrest her..."

The little girl knelt on the ground, crying so hard that she thrust.

"Go to the house and wait, don't ask anyone to step out of the backyard." Cheng Yu didn't look at Ningzhu and stared at Chunliu who was following him.

Chunliu responded quickly and coaxed Ningzhu back softly. She walked to the door of the room and turned around. Where was Cheng Yu's figure in the yard?

Ningzhu's eyes widened, and after being shocked, he pointed to the roof excitedly.

When Chun Liu looked up, she saw Cheng Yu leaning over the roof like a spirit cat, and soon disappeared from her sight.

forecourt.

After Hanzhu bowed to Chen Ze, she looked at Uncle Zhang and the other four kneeling there, and asked calmly: "Sir, I wonder what the four of them have made?" Dad left, and she could cry in private. She could not show any timidity in front of the servants of the whole family.

Chen Ze looked cold and righteous. He didn't look at her a girl, but pointed to the Jiang family's doorman who had already kneeled forward and said, "Yesterday, the Japanese official received a secret report and learned that these four foolish slaves used their prestige in the Jiang family to force Miss Jiang to marry Zhang Fu while Jiang was instructing him. Is there anything wrong?"

Hanzhu frowned and asked the concierge in disbelief, "Why did you wrongly accuse Uncle Zhang's family?"

The doorman got Chen Ze's tip and was very good at acting. He raised his head and advised: "Don't be afraid, girl. The magistrate is very careful and knows that a girl will make the decision for her when bullied. If there is any grievances, please speak out just in a blatant way. Don't worry about the Zhang family's revenge!"

When Uncle Zhang's family heard this, they all shook their heads and cried for justice. Unfortunately, their mouths were blocked and they could only make whimpers. They wanted to kill the doorman with their eyes, and then looked at Hanzhu with tears in their eyes and begged her to testify.

Hanzhu was taken care of by Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang since she was a child, so of course she trusted them. Moreover, her marriage to Zhang Fu was told to her by her father before her death...

"Sir, you misunderstood. My father personally promised me to Zhang Fu before his death. My daughter was willing to marry him. No one would threaten her. I would like to ask her not to believe this person's nonsense and let Uncle Zhang's family go." Hanzhu knelt down at Chen Ze and bowed her head to beg.

Chen Zexu helped her and asked her to get up, looked at her, and said softly: "Is Miss Jiang's handle falling into their hands? If so, Miss Jiang can trust me. I hate bullying the weak most in my life. As long as Miss Jiang tells the truth, I will make the decision for your sisters and keep you safe."

Hearing that he was kind, Hanzhu was grateful and clarified again: "Uncle Zhang's family really didn't..."

"grown ups!"

A yamen run suddenly ran over, interrupted Hanzhu's words, and handed a bag of things to Chen Ze, "Sir, this was found in Zhang De's house, hidden under the brick, the little one suspected it was poisonous and medicine, dared to guess that Mr. Jiang was dead strangely!"

Zhang De is the name of Uncle Zhang.

Hanzhu raised his head suddenly, as if he was struck by lightning.

Chen Ze looked solemn, raised the medicine and put it on his nose and smelled it. He said to Hanzhu in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang, this matter involves the cause of Ling Zun's death. I must take the four of them to the county government for interrogation. Miss Jiang was at the time of her father's grief. I will not invite you to the county government hall to suffer. Once there is conclusive evidence that Ling Zun was poisoned, I will notify you immediately and say goodbye."

After saying that, he ordered the yamen runners to take away the four Zhang family members and the gatekeeper.

Uncle Zhang and others struggled violently. Hanzhu watched the familiar people be taken away, and suddenly she didn't know who to believe.

Did my father, was he poisoned to death by Uncle Zhang?

Did my father not know that because he trusted Uncle Zhang so much that he entrusted her to Zhang Fu before he died. Uncle Zhang realized this in advance and took action?

"Girl, what should we do now?" Madam Tian asked in silence. Looking at the girl's pale and confused face, she felt uncomfortable. Why was the Jiang family so unlucky this month? She was first coerced by two evil people and went to the Gu family to make trouble. The funeral was only less than a day before, and the Jiang family's most capable housekeeper became a suspect again...

It seems that all the bad luck has been saved in this month.

Hanzhu didn't know what to do, and her eyes were blankly swept over the other servants gathered in the yard. She forced herself to cheer up and sent the servant in charge of the procurement to the county government to inquire about the news. She arranged a new gatehouse to guard the door, and said a few simple words of comfort, but she no longer had the energy to support her. She was supported by Madam Tian and returned to the backyard.

When I was about to pass by the wing room, someone suddenly asked behind me: "What is the reputation of this magistrate?"

The sound was cold and low, and it sounded so suddenly, as if it was coming from the underworld.

Hanzhu and Madam Tian both broke out in cold sweat and turned around stiffly.

Cheng Yu pushed open the door of the wing room, hid it inside, stared at the direction of the entrance of the yard, and asked again: "What is that person's reputation?"

Hanzhu hated him and was afraid of him. In her impression, he would only consider the two of them. Either he would not talk to her, and it would be a threatening statement. Therefore, when he heard his question, Hanzhu did not react for a moment and looked at him blankly.

Her eyes were still a little swollen, and her face quickly lost weight, making her sad and pitiful.

Cheng Yu glanced at her and moved his eyes to Madam Tian.

Being stared at such a calm and dangerous gaze, Madam Tian shuddered and thought for a while, "Mr. Shen has punished many disasters in the county where he came to spring. She is usually kind and generous. Everyone says he is a good official, and the master has praised him."

Cheng Yu immediately asked again: "Do you think Uncle Zhang's family will harm Mr. Jiang?"

Madam Tian shook her head instinctively. She and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are both old people from the Jiang family. They have been dealing with each other for more than 20 years. Uncle Zhang is honest and decent, and Aunt Zhang is also a soft-hearted and kind-hearted and will never do anything to poison.

Hanzhu next to him carefully pondered Cheng Yu’s two problems and couldn’t help but tighten his cuffs, “The young master is suspicious of the county magistrate…”

"Have you seen him before today?" Cheng Yu reminded frankly. She became the most likely thing for villains to take action when she became like this.

Hanzhu shook his head and was stunned.

She didn't believe that Uncle Zhang's family would be so vicious and vicious. Then Uncle Zhang and others were not guilty. It must be because the magistrate made a mistake, but for no reason, why did the magistrate wrongly accuse Uncle Zhang? Now after Cheng Yu said this, everything seemed to be explained...

The magistrate covet her?

But, she has never met the magistrate?

But if this is true, Uncle Zhang's family will definitely be in danger of death. The Jiang family and her sister are left alone and helpless. He really comes, she...

Hanzhu's hands and feet were cold and his whole body was shaking.

Madam Tian slapped her thighs and hurriedly held Hanzhu's arm, "Miss, I remembered it! A few days ago, the magistrate invited someone to enjoy the moon, so she invited the thief of the Gu family! Do you think the two families had discussed it at that time? Otherwise, why would the thief of the girl be wronged after the moon? Now the magistrate has arrested Zhang Fu again?"

Beads are like falling into an ice cave.

Her face was as white as paper, Madam Tian felt distressed and pity, and knew that the girl must have no idea at this moment, she knelt down at Cheng Yu: "Young Master, please save my girl, my girl is pitiful, I meet such a group of wolves... I beg you to save my girl because of the politeness and care for you everywhere. If this continues, it will force my girl to die..."

Over the years, she watched the girl grow up day by day, growing from a little girl with a beautiful beauty, and watching her take care of her sister strongly after losing her mother and father, she really couldn't bear to see her being raped and abused.

Hanzhu looked at the man in the door with tears in her eyes.

He is running for his own life. Do he really have the energy to save their sisters?

She didn't know what the two of them were from. Chen Ze was an official, how could he beat the official?

Hanzhu turned sideways and saw that her sister was standing at the door at some point, with a pale face and looking at her timidly.

Hanzhu felt sad, and slowly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Young Master, please take my sister away. I will give all the money in the Jiang family to the young master, just ask the young master to protect my sister and grow up safely and choose someone who is good to her for her."

She couldn't leave, and when she left, the magistrate would send someone to chase her, and she could only save her sister. This person reminded them one after another that she could only choose to believe him at the moment. It would be better to have hope than to have no hope. The sister would continue to stay at home, so she would completely lose hope. Even if she compromised for her sister and her sister grew up, would that person let her sister marry her equally beautiful? If she really knew how to let her go, she would not have the frame of today.

She stayed to delay time first, and waited for her sister to go away before she could go down to see her parents.

"Sister..." Ningzhu ran over as soon as her sister knelt down and threw herself into her arms and cried.

Hanzhu hugged her sister tightly, looked up at the man in front of her, and she begged silently in tears, not daring to let her sister know that she was going to send her away.

Cheng Yu quickly changed his mind to a few thoughts and finally said, "You go back to the house first, I will let you know after I have decided."

He has a way to save people, but it depends on whether King Ding wants to.
